Is It Ok To Use Benzos And/or Muscle Relaxers While In Prerequisite Withdrawal?

Hello, I'm starting the prerequisite withdrawal period before my first suboxone appointment. I would desperately like to know if I can take a xanax or maybe a soma during this period to ease symptoms? Thanks so much for your time...

Due to the nature of your question, this may be something best answered by your doctor who can make a more informed decision based on your medical records, current health, age, weight, whether or not you're taking any other medications, etc.

However based on my research, as long as you're not taking the xanax or soma with suboxone at the same time, you should be fine. Reason being is that there are drug interactions between those medications that may result in increased side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment; that may also inhibit your ability to drive.

Other than that I would still encourage you to speak with your doctor before moving forward, since an in person evaluation is often much more personalized to suit your individual needs.

Hope this helps!
